1. Start with the geographic question, not a headline number
A location label can conceal several different questions. For an ROI Dashboard review, that distinction matters because a city or place field should not silently become a county-wide or statewide conclusion. Ask to see how location is assigned to rankings, calls, forms, leads and matters. If a report combines Waianae with other areas, you need to know that before using it for budget or staffing decisions.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic scope you want to evaluate. Keep Waianae, Honolulu County and any other service areas as separate categories unless you deliberately decide to combine them. During the consultation, ask how location data is represented, what happens when a caller’s location is unknown, and whether a city-level view is a measurement field or merely a reporting label.
